Clothing store plans fall opening Donald’s Sweets & Treats will open on Saturday BY PAM EGGEMEIER peggemeier@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5570 @pam_eggemeier
STERLING – Glik’s, a new clothing retailer, plans to move into an empty space next to Maurice’s in Northland Mall in mid-October. Mall owner J. Herzog & Sons has some history with the men’s and women’s clothing company. “We have had Glik’s at a couple of our other malls, and they know we are a good landlord,” said Karyn Broui-
lette, Northland’s general manager. Glik’s is a family business that traces its history back to 1897, making it the 14th-oldest retailer in the country. Brands include The North Face, Silver Jeans, Billabong, Hurley, Roxy, Fox, Under Armour, and Miss Me. Founded in St. Louis, the company
has corporate headquarters in Granite City and more than 90 stores in Illinois, Missouri, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, South Dakota, and North Dakota. Another new business also is getting ready to open at the mall. Donald’s Sweets & Treats plans to make its debut Saturday. It will sell candy, popcorn and the like. It’s owned by Donald Czyzyk, owner of Muddy Paws pet complex in Sterling, and the site administrator at Happy Tails Humane Society in Rock Falls.
Are you a good fit for the job? Glik’s will have open interviews for positions at the Northland Mall, 2900 E. Lincolnway. A company representative will be there from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday.

COMMUNITY WATCH
Officer, wrestler ... retiree After 24 years of helping people, police chief is ready for more family time BY CHRISTI WARREN cwarren@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5521 @SeaWarren
AMBOY – Ever since he was a little kid growing up in Dixon, Paul Smith knew he wanted to be a cop. After graduating from Dixon High School, he went off to college in Missouri to get a degree in criminology. He joined the Lee County Sheriff’s Department as a correctional officer in 1982. He worked as a patrol deputy in 1986, then resigned to pursue a career in professional wrestling – not a terribly surprising revelation if you meet the burly 6-foot7 police chief in person. In fact, he actually was inducted into the Windy City Pro Wrestling Promotion’s Hall of Fame. By 1991, though, he was back in law enforcement, and on Aug. 26 of that year, he was hired by the Amboy Police Department. He was chief within a year.

Amboy Police Chief Paul Smith is retiring after 24 years with the department. This weekend will mark his final Depot Days as police chief, an illustrious career that will end “just as soon as the last car leaves Sunday at the car show.” And now, 24 years later, he’s set to retire. “I enjoy helping people,” he said in his office in Amboy City Hall. “Not only kids, but I like the elderly, as well. As a police department here in Amboy, we’re pretty firm
against crimes against children and crimes against the elderly. We take that a lot more seriously than a lot of other crimes.” He recalled an incident from a few years ago when he and a civilian – a maintenance worker – were the
first on scene at a terrible house fire. Together, they ran into the house, grabbing its elderly resident and carrying him to the squad car to take him to the hospital. “The adrenaline really takes over,” Smith said. “The house was up in flames, but where he was sitting it was mostly smoke still. You could barely see. ... If it had been any longer, it’s possible he might have succumbed to smoke inhalation.” Instead, the man lived. Smith and his wife, Cyndy, have three children, Aprille, Wayland, and Autumn. Retirement, he said, will likely mean lots of trips to Wisconsin to visit family, lots of fishing, and golf. Plus, he has more than a few things he needs to cross off his honey-do list. This weekend will mark his final Depot Days as police chief, an illustrious career that will end “just as soon as the last car leaves Sunday at the car show.”

County Market app comes to local stores BY PAM EGGEMEIER peggemeier@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5570 @pam_eggemeier
Niemann Foods Inc. is bringing iBeacon technology to its County Market stores in the Sauk Valley. The Quincy-based grocer is the first independent supermarket chain in the country to use the technology in all of its stores, including the Sterling and Dixon sites. What that means is an interactive experience between the grocer and its shoppers. Through the use of a smartphone app, retailers can track customers’ activity while they’re in the store and try to enhance their shopping experience. The myCountyMarket app is available for Apple and Android smartphones. The app allows County Market to send personalized offers, location-specific coupons, in-store maps, and sharable shopping lists – all while the customer is in the store. For example, shoppers can

Stabbing suspect spits on judge in court BLOOMINGTON (AP) – A man suspected of multiple stabbings in central Illinois was removed from a courtroom after reportedly spitting at a judge. The Pantagraph reported that Jason L. Hopkins, 35, appeared in court Thursday for his arraignment. He faces attempted first-degree murder and aggravated assault in connection with attacks on three people earlier this month in downtown Bloomington. The newspaper reported Hopkins spit at Judge Scott Drazewski after a brief hearing where a mental exam was ordered for Hopkins. Deputies put Hopkins on the floor and removed him from the room. No injuries were reported. Court hearings were delayed as Drazewski left to change his robe. Workers were called to clean the bench. The newspaper reported the Aug. 19 stabbing victims included a Pantagraph employee and a tourist from Germany.
City will put people on drunkard list
AURORA (AP) – The police department in Illinois’ second-largest city is going to compile a “habitual drunkard� list to help fight public intoxication. Aurora Police Department Sgt. Tom McNamara says the list will have “certain clientele� whom police and fire departments see regularly. The Beacon-News reports that includes people whom police and fire personnel transport six times or more in a 120-day period. The City Council approved keeping the list this week as part of an overhaul to city liquor laws. Aurora is roughly 40 miles west of Chicago. Police say the goal is public safety. Those on the list won’t be able to purchase liquor in Aurora and local businesses are expected to comply. Authorities say they got the idea from Madison, Wisconsin, which has a similar policy.
visit the bakery to get a $1 coupon for cookies, or head to the dairy cases and immediately receive a reminder of a sale on coffee creamer. The app also has an in-store map to help shoppers save time. The map not only locates products, it allows shoppers to create and share shopping lists, and sort lists by aisle. By adding their Max Card numbers to the app profile, shoppers will receive personalized ad fliers, highlighting sale items specific to their shopping habits. A smartphone camera allows shoppers, from the store or at home, to check whether a particular item is on sale by scanning the bar code. The actual iBeacons, which use Bluetooth Low Energy, are about the size of a quarter. They are installed at various places within the store. When users download the app and register, they opt in to the location-based services. Before launching the app in all of its stores, Niemann tested the system in the Springfield area for the past year.

System crashes; lessons learned Laptop training delayed, but classes still go on as scheduled BY BRITTANY KEEPERMAN Shaw Media bkeeperman@shawmedia.com
DeKALB – District 428’s 12 schools experienced a technology blackout that extended into the school day Thursday. Learning wasn’t disrupted this time, but officials will now develop a backup plan for the future. Superintendent Douglas Moeller said the network system went down Wednesday night, rendering the district’s phones, computers and radios useless. Some schools, like Huntley Middle School, had sporadic connectivity. Moeller said the cause of the problem was unclear. Busing and the school day went on as planned Thursday. The district has implemented Phase 1 of its one-to-one technology plan that put about 3,300 Chromebooks in the hands of the district’s third- through ninth-graders. Phase 1 of the 3-year rollout plan cost the district $1.1 million this fiscal year. “Fortunately, it’s only the second day of school,” Moeller said. “They are doing more training at this point.
Friday, August 28, 2015
A big part of this is [the students] have to learn to use the device. … The training will continue, they just can’t go live and go out and do searches. Six months down the line, this would have impacted instructional delivery.” The district also is using a new electronic system for the lunchroom, which school officials have said will streamline the payment process by allowing students to pay using a cloud-based TouchID system. “We’ll still be able to go through with that,” Moeller said. “The information will be stored on the device they use to scan and will register on the system once the server is back up.” While the most critical issue Thursday morning was getting back online, the technology department, curriculum department, Moeller and Andrea Gorla, assistant superintendent of business and finance, will meet to debrief and come up with a backup plan, Moeller said. “We’ll figure out how to handle this in the future,” Moeller said. “We might need to have a landline phone that will work independently.”

Construction fencing surrounds the Dunes State Park pavilion Aug. 10 in Chesterton, Indiana. A deal with investors to privatize and refurbish the pavilion, an aging-yet-iconic structure with sweeping views of Lake Michigan, is raising questions about the privatization of public resources.
Development deal irks conservationists Job has become long privatization deal with state INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – The parkland surrounding Indiana’s towering dunes was intended to keep industry away from a geological marvel molded over thousands of years at the southern tip of Lake Michigan. Yet 5 years after a politically connected developer suggested officials should hire a company to rehabilitate a dilapidated beachfront pavilion at the popular tourist destination, the small construction project has ballooned into a decades-long privatization deal with the state. It includes two beachfront restaurants, a rooftop bar, a glass-walled banquet hall promising “the best view in Indiana” – and there is potential for even more development. What’s more, the company ultimately picked to do the job was cofounded by Chuck Williams, the developer who pitched the initial idea. Williams, a regional chairman of the state Republican Party, worked behind
the scenes for over a year with the administrations of two GOP governors, shaping and expanding the plans. He faced competition from just one other company – a bid that was deemed “good” though not as profitable. “On its face, it looks suspicious,” Antony Page, vice dean of the Indiana University law school in Indianapolis, said of the deal by Williams’ Pavilion Partners. “A big Republican supporter gets a potentially very lucrative contract?” Deb Butterfield, a spokeswoman for Pavilion Partners, called the effort “a showcase project” for Indiana that would “put an exclamation point on what a beautiful asset this is.” Conservationists since the late 1800s have sought to protect the dunes on Lake Michigan’s southern shore, which offer a glimpse of Chicago’s skyline on a clear day. First came Indiana Dunes State Park, which turns 90 on Saturday. Later, Congress created the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, a 15-mile sliver of land encompassing the park.

IN BRIEF Hazardous material incident in suburb leaves two dead DES PLAINES (AP) – Authorities say two men were found dead in a suburban Chicago townhouse and five others injured in a hazardous materials incident. Emergency crews responded to the home in unincorporated Des Plaines on Thursday afternoon. Authorities say the call for help indicated there were people in distress in the garage of the house. A woman found there was hospitalized in
critical condition. The Cook County Sheriff’s Department says four officers responding to the scene had trouble breathing and were hospitalized for evaluation. They were later released. Authorities have not revealed the nature of the hazardous material involved. Firefighters were seen entering the home in protective gear and being hosed off after they left. Authorities say investigators were able to enter the home late Thursday after tests determined it was safe to do so.
Professor can again claim U of I destroyed evidence CHICAGO (AP) – A judge has taken a preliminary step toward allowing a professor suing the University of Illinois over the loss of a job offer to pursue a claim that the university destroyed evidence. U.S. District Judge Harry Leinenweber decided Thursday to allow Steven Salaita to amend his lawsuit to include the previously dismissed claim that administrators deleted
emails pertinent to the case. The decision, though, does not guarantee the claim will remain part of the lawsuit. Salaita’s attorneys at the Center for Constitutional Rights say the university could again challenge it and the judge would have to reconsider it. A university spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The university last year rescinded Salaita’s job offer over a series of anti-Israel messages on Twitter.

A NIGHT OF PAGEANTRY IN AMBOY
Daily Gazette • A5
Installation cost less than $10 KIOSK

Judges for the Miss Amboy pageant determine a winner of the Miss Amboy title Thursday night during Depot Days in downtown Amboy.
“I think these lending libraries are an excellent idea,” Ron Pritchard said. “I don’t think they belong in the park. … I’d be concerned with what people put in there – trash, [adult materials]. This is going to be open to kids.” Steve Pritchard also raised concerns about the cost to install the 4-foot-tall wooden kiosk. Duane Long, director of maintenance, said installation would be less than $10, but he doesn’t have the staff to monitor the kiosk more than once a day. The district will take the kiosk down if it becomes too much of a hassle. “I think it’s a great idea,” board member Ben Nagy said. “It’s very mobile from the looks of it. I know it’s utilized in other places often. If we have an incident, we can take it down.” Since the agenda item did not require a vote, the board authorized park staff to install the kiosk, which already is built, within the month. Dixon Park Board members are on board with installing this lending library kiosk at John Dixon Park, but say it will be removed if it becomes a hassle.

ILLINOIS SPOTLIGHT
THE CARTOONIST’S VOICE
Chicago must straighten out its financial act City’s problems threaten future of entire state
Nate Beeler, GateHouse News Service
EDITORIAL | HIGHER EDUCATION
Help SVCC shape its future T
axing bodies regularly solicit operational funds from the public in the form of taxes, which everyone is obligated to pay. The same taxing bodies don’t always solicit ideas and suggestions from the public on how those taxes should be spent. When they do, people should seize the opportunity to put in their two cents’ worth. Sauk Valley Community College has a new president, has embarked on its second half-century, and has a strategic plan in need of updating. David Hellmich, SVCC president, is looking for input from all segments of the community – including you. Hellmich has announced a campaign to gather ideas on what the college should focus on in the upcoming months and years. The information will be considered as the college updates its overall plan. Some of it will help create strategic initiatives to be carried out over the next few years. Several avenues
What we think Members of the public should help shape Sauk Valley Community College’s future by sharing their ideas at listening sessions and through an online survey. for input have been arranged. Three listening sessions have been planned for faculty and staff: 9 to 10 a.m. today, 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Sept. 14, and 1 to 2 p.m. Sept. 21, all in Room 1K4. A listening session for faculty, staff and community members will be from 4:45 to 5:45 p.m. Sept. 22, also in Room 1K4. A listening session for students will be from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Sept. 23 in the same room. An anonymous online survey is currently available for anyone to log on and complete. Go to surveymonkey.com/r/ strategic-initiatives to begin the survey. When you go there, you will be given the opportunity to describe issues or opportunities that you think the college should focus on in the next 1 to 3 years. People are asked to think about “large, global
issues” that affect SVCC. Those taking the survey are then asked to rate the urgency of their idea. Is it an institutional priority (in other words, address it as soon as possible)? Is it important, but could be delayed a few years? Or is it important, but it’s something the college can’t resolve on its own? The online survey, by the way, will be active until the end of the day on Sept. 25. THE SOLICITATION of the public’s views comes as the college reported an enrollment decline. This fall, the college has 1,895 students, a reduction of 313, or 14 percent, compared to the 2,208 who were enrolled last fall. Some community colleges have responded to enrollment declines by starting new programs to attract students. An example is Highland Community College in
Freeport, which recently created 13 new courses that attracted more than 100 students. Hellmich suggests that SVCC could become more involved with Northern Illinois University in DeKalb through courses and campus activities. Sauk could also explore new dualcredit courses to offer in area high schools. Among the challenges that confront the college are dwindling state financial support and the stagnant or dwindling population in some area communities. SVCC officials report that since 2004, the number of seniors in the seven largest high schools in the district declined by 11 percent. Where should SVCC go from here? That’s what Sauk officials want to figure out. The public is not obligated to respond, of course – unlike its obligation to pay taxes to SVCC and other taxing bodies. But if the public has ideas on what Sauk’s future should look like, the time is now to share them.
THE READER’S VOICE
Midwesterners a pretty good bunch of people CONNIE CROSS Dixon
In reply to the letter by Pat Breeding about us Midwesterners [“Midwesterners’ ways are hard to understand,” The Reader’s Voice, Aug. 21], I agree with all you wrote except maybe the motorcycles. I have been more alert to watch and wish they wore something more visible. Thank you for mentioning the mowing of grass into the street. I have seen three people not mow their grass into

the street. Must have hit home. I have a few pet peeves, too, like people walking their dogs in a cemetery or park that is posted “no dogs allowed,” and people who wear too much perfume or scented products in public places, including doctors’ offices, and smoking in crowds or close to entrances or anywhere, for that matter. But all in all, I think you will find most Midwesterners a good bunch of people. Dixon is a nice place to live. We just need to obey our laws, and be kind and more considerate of others. Welcome, and I hope it gets better for you.

Hello, Chicagoans and all Illinoisans. While we’ve been off soaking at the beach, hitting various summer music fests, and either loving or hating the Cubs resurgence, Chicago finances have been sinking ever closer to complete collapse. Perhaps you noticed on your way to or from the Grateful Dead or One Direction concerts that Chicago and Illinois are headed downward fast and near dead. Our politicians have run things into the ground. What’s new? Why care? Nonpartisan government finance watchdog Truth in Accounting provided an answer. If you live in Chicago, pay taxes, and all your government bills came due today: You’d owe $12,700 to cover Chicago Public Schools. You’d need $28,600 to take care of Chicago. You’d need another $5,100 for Cook County. And a whopping $45,000 to keep Illinois afloat. Got that? If all the bills came due now, every taxpayer in Chicago would need to come up with $91,400 to cover their major governments’ debts. Every taxpayer. “Instead of truly balancing their budgets, elected officials have chosen to push more than $228 billion of prior budget costs onto future taxpayers,” said Sheila Weinberg, founder and CEO of Truth in Accounting. “In the future, each Chicago taxpayer will pay more than $90,000 in taxes to cover these costs, without receiving any services and benefits for those taxes.” KEEP THAT IN MIND as Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel starts hosting town hall meetings next week. His press office says the meetings on the north, west and south sides Monday, Wednesday and Thursday will give residents a chance to offer savings, reform and revenue ideas. But the mayor has already got plans and heard from aldermen. They’re getting ready to lower the boom on our wallets, our kids’ college funds, and their future kids’ piggy banks. All because none of the Democrats who run the city or the state can find a way to work with Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner or make a difficult decision to save their political lives. The pension problems have been building for years. The debts didn’t appear overnight. Democrats, while they still held the governor’s office,

couldn’t muster the political fortitude to keep even a part of the higher income tax rate. They show no backbone to do it now and make needed cuts. The state is on pace to spend $5 billion more than it takes in this year, even without a budget. Laurence Msall, president of the Civic Federation, an independent government research organization, said, “Many people express alarm, but few are taking personal responsibility for coming up with a solution or even offering meaningful Chicago Mayor Rahm l o n g - t e r m Emanuel solutions.” Chicago The mayor faces a faces percrucible of haps the leadership; most urgent if he can’t build a bridge crisis of any. between Its credit feuding state is junk.

He is the one who can and must build the bridge that brings Illinois Senate President John Cullerton, House Speaker Michael Madigan, and Rauner to a solution. None of the Democrats should be willing to bear responsibility for the collapse of city schools. This is Emanuel’s crucible.

Bush parlays appearance on Colbert’s show into fundraiser NEW YORK (AP) – Jeb Bush isn’t just going to be a guest on Stephen Colbert’s late-night debut on CBS. He’s turned it into a fundraising opportunity. Bush has sent a letter to potential supporters, offering a “VIP ticket” to the taping of Colbert’s first show Sept. 8, in the renovated Ed Sullivan Theatre in Manhattan. The winner also gets an all-expenses-paid trip to New York for the event. Bush asks for a $3 donation to enter. “Running for president can be a taxing and grueling job, but it also presents you with some truly once-in-a-lifetime opportunities,” Bush wrote. “Friend, I want to share one of those opportunities with you.” Jeb Bush The raffle puts CBS in an awkward spot, seeming to take part in a presidential candidate’s attempt to raise money, and the network distanced itself from the effort. “All guests on the show are provided audience tickets for their own use,” said Chris Ender, CBS Entertainment spokesman. “However, this promotion is not a coordinated tie-in between the show and the political campaign.” Colbert’s representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Political financing was a topic of his comedy while on Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report.” He attempted a mock presidential run in 2008, and parodied campaign finance laws by setting up his own political action committee, “Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow.” Ender would not comment on CBS’ policy for use of “Late Show” tickets, which are free to the public. Bush’s fundraising letter describes the opportunity to see Colbert’s debut as “something you’ll be talking about 20 years from now.”

I think there may have been an emotional breakdown having to do with her work. I also think it upsets my motherin-law to have her adult daughter living this life. Mom isn’t willing to ask her to move out or even discuss the situation. This was fine until my sister-in-law told my 10-year-old daughter that she lives with her parents because “they need her to take care of them.” Nothing could be further from the truth. My in-laws are fine on their own. My concern is that this is sending a bad message to my daughter, and she

will think she will need to take care of her father and me in 30 years. I have told my daughter that kids do not need to move back in with their parents – even if they need help. My question is, should I tell my mother-in-law about this or just drop it? – Taken Aback in Nevada

Dear Taken Aback: Your sister-in-law may have justified her living with her parents in order to save face after having been asked about why she was living in their basement. Because you have dealt with this with your daughter, and the subject is a sensitive one with your mother-in-law, my advice is to let it go. Dear Abby: Can you please help me understand the rule of etiquette when borrowing a wedding dress? The owner was fully aware that the bride intended to alter it. It was obvious that it would need to be made several sizes smaller and shortened. Also, the bride stated clearly that she intended
to lower the neckline and remove the sleeves. Everyone seemed happy the gown was being used again after 25 years of being in a box. After the wedding, the dress was professionally cleaned, boxed and returned to the owner. She is now livid and contends that the dress should have been returned in its original state – just like it was loaned. I’d appreciate your help settling this family dispute. How should this work? – Borrowing Trouble in the Midwest Dear Borrowing Trouble, It is a fact of life that when cloth is excised so
a garment can be made “several sizes smaller,” it cannot be put back in its original condition. If that was the expectation of the owner, it was unrealistic. The bride did the right thing by having the wedding gown professionally cleaned and boxed, and it shouldn’t be necessary for her to make any apologies. Dear Abby, A few years ago, my sister-in-law gave me a beautiful watch for Christmas. It became my favorite accessory for any dressy occasion. However, a year ago her brother and I divorced. I still have the watch and would love to wear it, but I’m not sure if it would be appropriate or if I should
give it away. Thanks for your input. – Torn in Decatur, Illinois Dear Torn, The watch was given to you with affection, and even if you wear it in your ex-husband’s presence, the chances are small that he would realize who it was from. Because you like it, wear it and enjoy it. There is nothing inappropriate about doing so. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
PRESIDENTIAL POLITICS
A dark horse candidate? Try a black lab Tribune News Service
CHICAGO – Running for president is so easy, even a dog can do it. Or at least the dog’s name can appear on the Federal Election Commission’s list of nearly 800 potential candidates for president. Candidate ID P60009883, also known as Bailey D. Dog, is a black Labrador who lives with the Rubin family of northwest suburb Long Grove. He was thrust into politics by Jacob Rubin, 14, and his brother, Jonathan, 12. “We had no idea what
our sons were up to,” their mother, Judy, said. “We [she and her husband, Bob] were in Florida, and our sons were having these random conversations about Bailey running for president.” To introduce Bailey into presidential politics, the Rubin brothers filled out a Form 2, a “statement of candidacy,” which is required for presidential candidates. The form is online, and the FEC is required to check it and publish the results, no matter who fills it out or his or her intentions.
(Getting on ballots is a different matter, and the process varies by state.) “Bailey is a black Labrador retriever who was born and rescued in Indiana,” Jacob said in an email. “His exact age is unknown, but he is estimated to be between 4-5 years old in human years, which would make him about 35 in dog years, thus making him eligible to run for president.” Eligible if he were a human being. The Constitution requires the president to be both a “person” and a “citizen.”
Jacob said the process of registering a presidential candidate was simple. The Long Grove canine can be described as a democratic socialist, Jacob said. “Bailey supports helping the homeless, as he was once a homeless dog, doesn’t believe in the death penalty, as when he was rescued from a high-kill shelter, he was just days from his planned euthanasia,” he wrote. The dog’s campaign website, bailey2016.weebly.com, features his slogan: Forward Pawgress.

ILLINOIS | FARMING
Pilots are leaving crops in the dust A rainy summer has trickled down to crop dusters, who are busier than ever BY DENNIS YOHNKA The (Kankakee) Daily Journal
KANKAKEE (AP) – They make their living at 135 miles per hour, about 8 feet off the ground. And, they’ve never been busier. The pilots and support crews at places such as Benoit Aerial Spraying in Kankakee and Zumwalt Aviation in Sheldon have been working dusk to dawn for the past 2 months. In some cases, they’re just working the fields they routinely spray with fertilizer, weed killer or insecticide. And, in other cases, they’re doing the jobs that farmers on the ground haven’t been able to do amid one of the rainiest summers in Illinois history. “There are fields out there where they haven’t been able to turn a wheel since June 1,” said David Kurtz, 46. He’s the owner of the Benoit operations
and a 26-year veteran in the cockpit. “And there are a lot of fields out there where the crops are failing.” He noted that peppers, pumpkins and sweet corn might all be in short supply this fall, but his focus is preserving the crops that haven’t been flooded out. “We’re working with four planes, flying from about 7 a.m. until 8 p.m.,” he said. “When we come back for fuel and materials, it’s like a NASCAR pit stop. If I’m on the ground for 5 minutes, I’m getting mad.” And those kind of days – when pilots eat hurryup lunches while still strapped into their plane – go on and on. Matt Morin, 30, of Momence, estimated his last day off was 8 weeks ago. “I remember because it was my birthday,” the 9-year veteran flyer said during a break in the Benoit offices.
Steve Benoit lifts off from Benoit Aerial Spraying in Kankakee on July 15. A flurry of flights are filling the air over farm fields as crop sprayers keep busy – very busy.

Yes, they actually took a break. The crew was forced to take a day off after Monday night’s rains left their grass runways too wet for takeoffs and landings. “If someone would have told me that I’d be running a bulldozer on the runways in July, trying to get the water to drain, I

would have said you were crazy,” Kurtz said. Meanwhile, in Sheldon, owner Adam Zumwalt has seen business grow
steadily since he took over the business from his father in 2005. “It’s been growing, but it’s a little crazy now,” he said. “Today, every call is a 911 thing. Normally, things would have slowed down for us 3 weeks ago, but we’re going all day, every day.” While pilots have noticed the impact of area flooding – on crops and neighborhoods – there is little time for being a spectator in the cockpit. The typical crop duster plane is a one-passenger, high-horsepower Thrush Aircraft product, specifically designed for close-up work. This type of plane also is modified for sewing rice paddies, feeding farm-raised
shrimp, fighting forest fires, and even cleaning up oil spills. “They’re a little different to fly. The transition for a guy who flew a standard Cessna would be tough,” Morin said. “It’s a pretty big adjustment just flying down with the windmills and power lines.” “Flying has to be second nature, or this job is too overwhelming,” Kurtz said. “Doing this 12 hours a day, you need an incredible level of attention to survive.” “They’re doing what some of our farmers can’t do this summer,” said Chad Miller, of the Kankakee County Bureau. “They’re getting the job done without getting stuck in the mud.

College drug use: It’s a matter of timing Report identifies peak times for students’ usage CHICAGO (AP) – Parents worried that their college-bound children might succumb to the temptations of campus life might want to take note of a new analysis that found that students tend to experiment with specific types of drugs for the first time during certain times of year. College students tend to try stimulants such as Adderall and Ritalin for the first time in November, December or April, according to the examination of 12 years of government survey data.
They might believe the attention deficit disorder medications will help them ace their exams, even though there is no medical evidence that such drugs enhance performance, and such drugs can be addictive. Students are most likely to try marijuana, inhalants and alcohol for the first time during the summer, not the school year, according to the report released Thursday by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, which examined data from the annual National Survey on Drug Use and Health. First use of cigarettes peaks in June, September and October. Underage college students who have
never tried alcohol before are most likely to have it for the first time in June. First-time use of cigars, marijuana and inhalants is highest in June and July, and the first nonmedical use of prescription painkillers happens most often in December. While many American teenagers start drinking in high school, the report suggests many do not. About 1,200 underage students each day, on average, try alcohol for the first time while in college, according to the analysis. The new findings suggest that prevention messages could be targeted at the months when college students are most vulnerable, said Brendan Saloner, an addiction
researcher at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health who wasn’t involved in the study. “What you’re seeing is a summer peak. Young people may have more time on their hands and less supervision,” Saloner said. “For stimulants, first use seems to peak around finals. There’s a lot of anxiety and stress.” Rear Adm. Peter Delany, the director of SAMHSA’s Center for Behavioral Health Statistics, which produced the report, said “These are times when parents may want to think about checking in,” said Delany, whose son is a college freshman. “Talk to your kids in a non-emotional way. Tell them what expectations you have.”
The report
The report sought to determine the average number of full-time college students using substances for the first time for each month of the year. It combined information from 68,600 full-time college students answering the 2002 through 2013 surveys. Online: collegeparentsmatter.org.

When are college students most likely to use marijuana for the first time? In June and July, according to a new report that identifies peak time for drug use among college students.

Clock is ticking on Rauner hire
The devastating Tornado and Flood of June 22, 2015 that destroyed our store is a solid reminder to preserve your history. Not a single memory was lost. Preserve yours today.
SPRINGFIELD (AP) – The contract of a budget expert tapped by Gov. Bruce Rauner is set to expire without a state budget in place. Donna Arduin will receive an estimated $165,000 for nearly 8 months of work. But her contract expires today amid a deadlock over the state budget. Despite the lack of a state spending plan since the new fiscal year began July 1, Rauner’s office is doling out praise for the contested adviser who works as GOP consultant-for-hire as her time in Illinois draws to a close. Rauner has defended his decision to hire Arduin after Democrats argued that her initial contract of $30,000 per month highlights the governor’s practice of paying high salaries to his top aides. Her monthly salary ultimately was cut in half to $15,000 and was funded by the Illinois Department of Revenue, instead of the governor’s office budget, drawing further criticism from Democratic lawmakers who said Rauner was “off-shoring” his hires. Rauner has said Arduin deserves the salary because she’s “the smartest state government budget person in America.” Arduin previously has helped GOP governors in New York, California, Florida and Michigan. In Illinois, Arduin aided in crafting the governor’s budget proposal, which later was rejected by Democratic leaders.

Defense: Clients lied, not their lawyer CHICAGO (AP) – A federal judge at a rare bench trial heard competing accounts of a prominent criminal attorney charged with instructing clients and witnesses to lie on the stand. A prosecutor accused Beau Brindley during closings Thursday of dozens of fabrications that distorted justice. Michael Chmelar added Brindley “perpetrated” an “assault on the judicial system.” Prosecutors say Brindley presented scripts of questions and falsified answers to clients and witnesses he told them to memorize for trial. But Brindley’s lawyer, Cynthia Giacchetti, said she agreed lying is at the core of Brindley’s trial. But she says it’s Brindley’s former clients who lied when they testified for the government at Brindley’s trial.

t’s easy to be nice to those who are nice to us. We are designed to respond to a smile with a smile, and only the hardest heart is unmoved by the tears of someone who is genuinely suffering. The real challenge for most of us is to be kind to someone who is attacking us, or belittling us, or treating us with contempt. Then we have to fight against our “animal nature” and resist the urge to hit back physically or verbally, and nothing is more natural than to hit back when we are being attacked. But nothing is more Christian than to turn the other cheek and to counter harsh words and abuse with kindness and love. Contrary to the wisdom of the world, turning the other cheek is not weakness but in reality requires great strength of character and long-suffering patience. Our duty as Christians is to be kind to everyone, not just those who are kind to us. There is no great merit in being kind to those who are kind to us. The real test is whether you can be kind to those who mistreat you. One way to do this is to realize that everyone is struggling. There is a popular quote these days, often misattributed to Plato, which says it very nicely: “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.” Indeed, everyone struggles, and we should look upon everyone as needing our help, even if they may not know it. – Christopher Simon

Get the opponents to help your cause
Grizzwells by Bill Schorr
Willa Cather, an author who achieved recognition for her novels of frontier life and won a Pulitzer Prize for a story set in World War I, said, “No one can build his security upon the nobleness of another person.” This week, though, we have seen that at the bridge table, declarer can sometimes secure his contract with the noble assistance of an opponent. In this example, South is in four spades. West leads the club queen. How should South play? Some players with the North hand would respond four spades, bidding to the 10-trick level with a 10-card fit. But that does not necessarily apply in an uncontested
auction. Here, with a balanced hand, North should rein in a notch or two. Advocates of the Losing Trick Count would respond with a game-invitational three spades, but it is a close deci-
sion. When North settles for two spades, South shoots for game. Opposite three spades, South might dabble his toe in the slam water with a four-heart control-bid (cuebid), which, here, North would reject. South has one club loser, so must restrict his diamond losers to two. Declarer should win the first trick with dummy’s club ace, draw trumps, cash his heart winners, and cast adrift with a club. Whoever wins this trick must either open up diamonds or concede a ruffand-sluff. In each case, South loses only two diamond tricks and makes his contract. Finally, if South must play on diamonds himself, he should start with dummy’s jack, hoping that East fails to cover an honor with an honor (or has the ace and king). © 2015 UFS

Abuse footage costs farmer business with McDonald’s, Tyson NEW YORK (AP) – McDonald’s and its supplier, Tyson Foods, say they’ve cut ties with a chicken farmer after an advocacy group released a video taken with a hidden camera that the group said showed abusive practices at its farm. The video was released by Mercy for Animals, an animal rights group that says it has released more than 40 similar videos in the past. The footage shows people scooping chickens into a bucket by whacking them with a pole with a spike on the end, and standing on birds’ heads to break their necks. Tyson Foods Inc. said in a statement that it was investigating the situation, but that it terminated the farmer’s contract “based on what we currently know.� McDonald’s Corp. said in a state-
ment that it supported Tyson’s decision to terminate its contract with the farmer in question. The farm in Tennessee identified by Mercy for Animals could not immediately be reached. The farm supplied chicken for McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets, according to Mercy for Animals. McDonald’s said the farm might have also supplied chicken for other menu items. Tyson said in its statement that the video doesn’t reflect the treatment of chickens by the thousands of farmers who supply the company. But Matt Rice, director of investigations for Mercy for Animals, said the group’s investigators walk away with images that “shock and horrify� every time they go on site at a farm.
ILLINOIS Work could help airport globally
the airport to compete beyond a regional level.
PEORIA (AP) – Officials at Peoria’s airport say they hope renovations in the works will help the facility compete for passengers wanting to fly international. Construction on a twogate expansion at Gen. Wayne A. Downing Peoria International Airport is about 40 percent done. Airport Director Gene Olson told The Peoria Journal Star during a tour this week that the $9 million project is slated to be finished in the spring. He says it’s going to add domestic capacity and set the stage for expanding flights to international destinations in the coming years, such as to Mexico and the Caribbean. Olson says such a schedule would allow

Union holds out hope for contract
NORMAL (AP) – Union officials say they’re pursuing contract negotiations with Mitsubishi even though the automaker plans to shut down its central Illinois plant. Kyle Young, vice president of UAW Local 2488 in Bloomington, says the union still hopes someone will buy the facility. Mitsubishi announced last month that it will close the plant in Normal. The company hopes to find a buyer but the plant’s 1,200 employees will be out of work when the facility closes in November. The current contract expires at 11:59 p.m. Monday. Company officials didn’t offer comment.

Regional replay for Bosnich Newman’s Wilson has Storm’s number BY DAN WOESSNER dwoessner@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5555 @DanWoessner

Erie’s Rachel Cobert (left) and Emily Cox spent the summer playing with a variety of different players, as they and teammates juggled commitments with other sports. Both think this could make the Cardinals a more cohesive group heading into the season.
EASILY ADJUSTED
STERLING – Abbi Bosnich had seen the scenario before. Her Bureau Valley Storm team playing in front of a full gym, scrambling to figure out a way to stop Newman’s Madalyn Wilson. Thursday night, it was the Newman junior posting a series of kills in Game 1 of the conference opener for the Storm and Comets. The last time, it was in the regional championship game in Manlius last postseason. So the Bureau Valley coach made every change she could to stop the Comets’ tall junior outside hitter. It worked for awhile, but not long enough, as Newman won 25-12, 24-26, 25-11. REPLAY CONTINUED ON B3
Cobert, Cox say Cardinals used to lineup shuffling BY CODY CUTTER ccutter@saukvalley.com 800-798-4095, ext. 5555 @CodyCutter35
Throughout the summer, Rachel Cobert and Emily Cox experienced different types of surroundings during volleyball practices and competitions. Not just time and place, but almost every time they stepped on the volleyball court, the Erie Cardinals had a different cast of girls. Being from a small school, offseason sports training can be hectic, with as many as three sports to worry about. Thus, the Cardinal volleyball team had to go about their schedules with many key performers having other commitments. Cobert and Cox, both three-sport seniors, tried to get to as many volleyball

While being short on time could be a setback come the start of the season, they believe their experiences with different teammates will help them try for another 20-win season. “It was hard to get everyone together at the same time,” said Cobert, a middleand left-side hitter. “Playing with people that we wouldn’t normally play with kind of helped us develop other aspects of the game. You never know what’s going to happen with illness, or injury,
or if someone misses school and can’t play. You’ve got to be comfortable playing with other people.” Erie is the smallest school in the Three Rivers, but is not short of success on the court. The Cardinals have averaged 20 wins per season and have been among the top of the conference standings over the past 15 years. With six returning seniors, the Cardinals and coach Alicia Murphy once again look to be right up there in conference contention. Another bonus to the constantly different summer feel is that players have been called to fill in at roles they are not used to playing. The experience in new places should also help the Cardinals.

North Dakota State to provide stipends Football Championship Subdivision powerhouse North Dakota State said Thursday it will provide thousands of dollars in stipends to scholarship athletes in all 16 sports beginning next year, a move that could persuade other midmajors to follow suit. The plan to pay for the full cost of attending college originated with the most influential conferences at the Bowl Subdivision level, which approved the legislation in January after gaining autonomy from the NCAA. Athletic scholarships have historically covered tuition, fees, room, board and books. NDSU officials say the additional cost will be up to $3,400 per full scholarship. NHL

Newman celebrates its 20-14 win over Rockridge during Week 1 of the 2014 high school football season. This week’s “Turn back the clock” looks at highlights from a year ago, including the Comets’ win. By SVM Sports Staff
For the second year in a row, Week 1 of the 2014 high school football season was affected by the weather. Many games in the area faced delays, but only three games were delayed to Saturday. The feature game of the week was a battle between stateranked teams Newman and Rockridge. Here’s a quick look back at highlights from a year ago: Newman 20, Rockridge 14:
The one thorn in Newman’s side in 2013 was a loss to Rockridge. It was removed to start the 2014 season. The Comets overcame a sluggish first-half performance to rally for a 20-14 victory over the Rockets. Newman entered the game No. 1 in Class 2A, while Rockridge checked in at No. 3. “Most of us knew the feeling we had last year,” junior running back Brady Rude said, “and we were determined not to have that feeling again. We’re not satisfied, though. It’s on to Week 2.” Rude was involved in the game’s biggest plays. His 25-yard run was the lone offensive highlight in the first half for the Comets, and kept the team within 14-8 at the time. A 39-yard TD run by Rude to open the second half drew the Comets even at 14-14.
Scoreboard • Metamora 29, Sterling 14 • Oregon 13, Johnsburg 7 • Dixon 25, MonmouthRoseville 0 • Harvard 41, Rock Falls 0 • Amboy 15, St. Bede 14 • Hall 23, Bureau Valley 13 • Erie-Prophetstown 45, Kewanee 19 • Newman 20, Rockridge 14 • Orion 33, Fulton 26 • Princeton 35, Morrison 7 • Aquin 31, AFC 15 • Eastland-P.C. 62, West Carroll 0 • Polo 40, East Dubuque 14 • Warren 18, Milledgeville 7 Dixon 25, Monmouth-Roseville 0: After waiting for nearly 2
hours, the Dixon Dukes were chomping at the bit to get onto A.C. Bowers Field. They wasted no time once they stepped between the lines. JD Gieson threw touchdown passes to Kyle LeBlanc on the Dukes’ first two drives, and the defense was all over Monmouth-Roseville from the start in a 25-0 victory in the season opener – Dixon’s first win at home since 2010. “We wanted to make some plays early, never let them get any momentum from the getgo,” said Gieson, who amassed 317 yards of total offense. “It felt like forever while we were waiting in the cafeteria before the game, but we started hot
bright and early once we got on the field.” Metamora 29, Sterling 14: All 22 helmets on the field looked to the sky as they watched the ball soar toward its target. It was a lob pass that had a hump like a camel, and two Sterling defensive backs found their way to the landing zone. Unfortunatley for the Golden Warriors, that zone was in the arms of Metamora receiver Jacob Mitchell. Mitchell completed the acrobatic catch and ran for the end zone, finishing a 60-yard play that capped the scoring as the Redbirds defeated the Warriors at Malone Field. Oregon 13, Johnsburg 7: Execution and ball control was the difference in Oregon’s 13-7 victory over Johnsburg on Friday at Landers-Loomis Field. “They were efficient in their execution and precise in their blocking,” Johnsburg coach Mike Maloney said. “And the running backs hit the holes they were designed to hit. That’s a sign of great coaching.” It was classic Oregon ground attack with a slight twist that led to the first score. Toward the end of an 18-play, 68-yard drive, the Hawks faced two fourth-down situations. Both times, it was first-year quarterback Jerrick Orsted connecting with Chris Jordan for pass completions, the second time for an 11-yard score.

Woman files rape suit against Rose Spokeswoman for Bulls star denies sexual assault allegation BY PATRICK M. O’CONNELL Chicago Tribune
CHICAGO – Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose has been accused of sexual assault in a lawsuit filed Wednesday by a former girlfriend in Los Angeles – a charge Rose quickly denied through a spokeswoman. The woman, identified in the court filing as “Jane Doe,” alleges that she was “gang raped” by Rose and two of his friends in August 2013. The woman claims the men placed a drug in her drink during a night out, then sexually assaulted her later after they broke into her apartment. She said she was in an “incapacitated state of consciousness.” A spokeswoman for Rose acknowledged Thursday that the Bulls guard had a lengthy sexual relationship with the accuser, but she said

Bulls star Derrick Rose has been accused of sexual assault in a lawsuit filed Wednesday by a former girlfriend in Los Angeles. Rose has denied the claim through a spokeswoman. in a statement that the woman’s allegations in the lawsuit were “completely false and without any factual basis.” “This is nothing more than a desperate attempt to shake down a highly respected and successful athlete,” said the spokeswoman, Lisa Cohen. “Mr. Rose was in a non-exclusive, consensual sexual
relationship with the plaintiff for over 2 years. The plaintiff expressed no complaints about Mr. Rose until various lawyers began to surface and demand that the plaintiff be paid millions of dollars. This is the third lawyer the plaintiff has retained in this matter. “Two years have passed since Mr. Rose ended the
consensual relationship with the plaintiff, and her claims are as meritless now as they were 2 years ago. We have complete confidence that the case will be dismissed, and that Mr. Rose will be vindicated. This lawsuit is outrageous.” Rose and the woman dated for about 2 years from 2011 until July 2013. In May 2013, according to the lawsuit, the woman said she traveled to Chicago with Rose and that they went to dinner with a friend “at his house after the game he played in ended.” However, Rose missed the entire the 2012-13 season with an injury and did not play in May. The woman said in the lawsuit that after that trip she no longer wanted to pursue a romantic relationship with Rose, but she said the two remained acquaintances.

“I don’t know her name, but I know she pretty much single-handedly beat us at the regional last year,” Bosnich said. “She was a great player then, and you can tell that’s she just getting better. It’s going to be amazing to see how far she goes.” After the Comets (1-0, 1-0) dominated the opening set, Bosnich threw out every feasible lineup to try and throw Wilson off her game. It worked enough for the Storm (0-2, 0-1) to get some confidence to take Game 2. “It was all about trying to find some way to get a finger on the ball,” Bosnich said. “I couldn’t even tell what the lineup was in the second game. I just kept rotating people. If I had to put that lineup out in practice tomorrow, I wouldn’t be able to do it.” The Comets were also juggling things around in Game 2. After cruising through the first game, coach Debbi Kelly wanted to dig deeper into her 17 girl roster. “We wanted to move some people around, and try some things out,” Kelly said. “You never know who you’re going to need to come through later in the season.

She blocked three consecutive points to tie the score 22 in Game 2, and followed that with a kill to give Newman the lead at 23-22. “Cassidy really got going in Game 2,” Kelly said. “When she’s out there, and gets comfortable, we like to run a few different things through her. She can make things really difficult on teams.” After the loss in Game 2, Newman regrouped quickly to take a 9-1 lead in Game 3 to force a timeout. The break
didn’t stop the momentum, and the Comets cruised to the win. Standing out for Bureau Valley was Sidney Kolb with seven kills. Savannah Dean added five assists. “Sidney is going to be a great player, but confidence is her issue,” Bosnich said. “She just doesn’t always have the most confidence. She’ll let plays get to her and affect her the rest of the way. “We have a young team. We graduated all our starters from last year. It’s a fun group to work with, but we have some growing to do.” Teagan Hinrichs led Newman with 11 service points, while Lauren Wilson had 12 assists and Cate Payan had 10 assists.
Cobert approaching Erie records ADJUSTED
CONTINUED FROM B1
“This summer, we learned that a lot of our players are very diverse in what they play,” Cox said. “At a couple of camps, people were gone. We learned that everyone can do different things, and that’s really cool.” One of the major adjustments needed for this year is to replace Peyton Rus’ valuable presence on the court. Rus went down hard with a leg injury during the deciding set of the Cardinals’ 1A Amboy Regional final against Eastland. The Cougars went on to win the regional, snapping a 2-year streak of regional
championships. “It’s something new,” Cobert said, “but I don’t think that will hurt us. Obviously we would love to have Peyton if we could have her. With her absence, we need other people to step up. That’s a hard thing to do, but that will help us as a team and as individuals as we move on after high school.” Strong serving should be key to the Cardinals’ season. Cox stated that she is able to get in plenty of crunching exercises while trying to dig up their fast serves. She’ll return to her role of setting up spikes, but this time has many more hitters to turn to with equal confidence. “Our hitters are really good,” Cox said.
“They’re really good at picking each other up if someone else isn’t hitting well. It’s nice as a setter to have so many options, because all of our hitters can put the ball down.” As for Cobert, she is fast approaching several Cardinals volleyball records. She is 116 kills away from the all-time mark, and is 16 blocks from tops in that category. As the season goes, she’ll also try to break the top five in aces and digs. “We’ve been working this past summer,” Cobert said. “There are six of us seniors this year, because we all stuck with it. That’s extremely rare, and I think, in our case, we’re very excited for that.”

But Koch provided Dixon’s spark this time. She had three kills in a seven-point span, then a pair of Rochelle hitting errors gave the Duchesses a 23-22 lead. The Hubs rallied for game point at 24-23, but a service error tied the game, then Long and Smith closed it out with kills for a 26-24 win. “When the tide turns, we feed off of that immediately,” said Koch, who had five kills to go with her 21 assists and eight points. “When they get down, that’s when we get up; we get hyped and pick up our intensity, and utilize their weaknesses once we find them.” Dixon led by two or three points all the way to 19-16 in Game 2, but the Hubs scored nine of the final 11 points to force the third game.

Dixon’s Kacey Koch sets the ball on Thursday against Rochelle. The Duchesses won in three sets. Senior Kaylie Clark had five of her 11 kills and two of her five blocks in the game. But the Duchesses stole
the momentum immediately in Game 3, and never let up. Out-of-system kills by Ally Cullen and Hannah
Acker, then a block by Ellie Provo and a kill by Jamie Altenburg pushed the margin to 14-4, then Altenburg combined with Smith for a block before ripping another kill to make it 20-6. Cullen reeled off back-toback aces to close out the 25-8 rout. “We like to talk about bouncing balls off the floor, and we did that from the middle of the first game,” said Long, who had 10 kills in her first career match not playing the libero position. “Our passes were on, especially in that third game, and that made it easier for our hitters to bounce those balls from the setter. Once we got the momentum, we really kept them off their game.” Long also had 22 digs, one fewer than new libero Alyssa Cruse. Altenburg spiked 7 kills.

David Letterman (left), seen here talking to co-owner Bobby Rahal at the 2009 Indy 500, is struggling to reconcile his lifelong love of auto racing with the sport’s inherent dangers after driver Justin Wilson died earlier this week from a head injury sustained during last weekend’s race.
To love or not to love Letterman struggling with racing’s dangers BY JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer
SONOMA, Calif. – This kind of list makes David Letterman sick to his stomach, and question his love of auto racing. The retired late-night comedian and IndyCar team co-owner rattled off a number of racing deaths – Justin Wilson, Dan Wheldon, Paul Dana, Dale Earnhardt, Ayrton Senna, sprint car driver Kevin Ward Jr. – and wondered if “maybe we’ve reached diminishing returns at making this sport safer.” Letterman expressed his grief in a telephone interview with The Associated Press from his Montana ranch. He spoke just 2 days after Wilson died from a head injury suffered Sunday when he was struck by a piece of debris at Pocono Raceway. “It’s just like, ‘Whoa, is this really the sport that you can embrace entirely?’ I don’t know. It’s a real self-examination,” Letterman said. Letterman is part owner of the Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, and the team goes into Sunday’s season finale at Sonoma Raceway thick in the championship hunt. Graham Rahal trails leader Juan Pablo Montoya by 34 points in an event that will count for double points in the standings. Rahal was just nine points out headed into last weekend’s race at Pocono, but he was wrecked by Tristan Vautier midway through the race. The incident with Wilson occurred long after Rahal had exited the race, when debris from Sage Karam’s single-car spin flew into Wilson’s open cockpit and struck him in the head. In a coma and critical condition, the 37-year-old Wilson died a little more than 24 hours later. He leaves behind a wife and two young daughters.

IndyCar driver Marco Andretti, driving Justin Wilson’s No. 25 car (bottom left), leads a motorcade in honor of Wilson over the Golden Gate Bridge on Thursday. Wilson died Monday from injuries sustained last weekend at Pocono Raceway. “I talked to a lot of people about this: Racing is fun, but people are not supposed to get killed,” Letterman said. “I am brokenhearted for his family, for his kids, and everybody says, ‘Well, this is what the guy wanted to do.’ And of course, that’s the case. “But we’re not supposed to have people die in the middle of this competition. I think he has two children, and that just breaks my heart, that dad loves driving race cars.” Letterman’s voice was emotional, and it was clear he’s put much thought into justifying his love of racing against his personal struggles with the risks involved. Improvements were made following Dan Wheldon’s death in the 2011 season finale in Las Vegas. The two-time
Indianapolis 500 champion died almost instantly when his car went airborne and his head slammed into a post in the fence. The car driven now in IndyCar was introduced immediately after Wheldon’s death, and Dallara called it the DW12 for the development work Wheldon had provided. Wilson’s death was the first fatality in IndyCar since then, and it was almost a fluke accident in that the nosecone from Karam’s car bounced down the track and into Wilson’s cockpit as he was the 12th driver to pass through the crash scene. “I’ve done quite a lot of thought, and statistically, I suppose people will tell us racing has never been safer, and maybe that’s the case,” Letterman said. “And it seems
like always enough time goes by between episodes, tragedies like this, where you are lulled into thinking that, ‘OK, well, that’s not going to happen again.’ “And then it happens again. It just makes you sick to your stomach.” IndyCar is honoring Wilson this weekend, beginning Thursday when Marco Andretti was scheduled to drive Wilson’s car across the Golden Gate Bridge. James Hinchcliffe, who has been sidelined since his own life-threatening accident in May during preparations for the Indianapolis 500, was scheduled to drive IndyCar’s two-seater with the championship trophy in the car. Letterman remains excited for Rahal’s prospects on Sunday, but his emotions are tempered by the loss of another driver. He said he struggled this week reconciling the good and the bad of auto racing. “What other sport do you have these two diametric circumstances: One, the possibility of this kid winning his first championship, and then also in the same week you have a guy who dies. I don’t know how to reconcile it, I just don’t,” he said. “When you see a race and you see people drive these cars with such precision, what they are able to achieve and what they are able to control, it’s like watching ballet. What they are able to do with these high-horsepower automobiles, it’s like watching the Blue Angels or something,” Letterman said. “That’s the thrill of it. So when you see a kid get killed doing this, it’s a tap on the shoulder of, ‘I don’t know. I don’t know if we are supposed to be enjoying this or not.’ Not many people are getting killed in volleyball.”

Find an unorthodox gathering where you can gain inspiration and stretch your imagination. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Love is highlighted. It’s time to capitalize on a chance to try something new. The more you take on, the more impressive you will be. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Practicality and creativity will pull you in opposite directions. Don’t stifle your imagination, but do search for a reasonable way to explore and put your plans in motion. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Don’t go it alone. Teamwork and cooperation will play an important role in your success. The more amenable you are, the easier it will be to form ongoing partnerships. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Improve your credentials and status. Your popularity will enable you to network with a wide variety of potential partners. If you combine work
and pleasure when you travel, the benefits will be plentiful. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- A new direction is imminent. Reflect on an intimate relationship. Changes to the way you feel or the dynamics of the partnership will lead you to question your intentions and expectations. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Be discreet. Unless it is specifically asked for, keep your opinion to yourself. Being too blunt will cause friction with co-workers or superiors, making these relationships uncomfortable. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are in an upward cycle. Take control of your destiny and explore every avenue that’s available. You have staunch supporters who will gladly join forces with you on your quest.
-- Everyone will be enchanted by your charm and knowledge. It’s fine to enjoy the limelight, but make sure your increased popularity doesn’t cause a problem with someone close to you. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Tie up loose ends. Contracts, joint ventures and debt collection will have a favorable outcome. Someone from your past will provide insight that you need to advance. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Your emotions will run close to the surface. Minor distress will be blown out of proportion, causing you to overreact. Stay away from group situations and find a quiet place to relax.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your obligations will deplete your energy if you continue to take on too much. If you get rid of responsibilities that don’t belong to you, you will be free to do your own thing. GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
